Why Remove a Tree?
The University of Maryland Extension reminds us hazardous trees with structural issues that could possibly result in injury to people or property damage should be addressed immediately. A Premier Tree Solutions expert can assess the situation, inspect the tree, and see if tree removal is the appropriate solution. They look for issues such as trunk damage, dead branches, a hollow trunk, and the tree’s proximity to power lines. Are signs of fungus or severe stress, such as sprouts or shoots, evident at the base of the tree? Has nearby excavation caused root damage? Answers to these and other questions help guide property owners toward making the right decision.
How Are Trees Professionally Removed?
Depending on the size of the tree and the issue at hand, there are different removal methods. The more traditional technique involves first cutting the branches, then felling the tree, which means cutting the trunk with a controlled notch to help direct the tree’s fall. Additionally, ropes are used to guide the fall.
For trees located in smaller yards or confined spaces near houses or power lines, felling the whole tree at once isn’t an option. The solution is having a professional climb the tree and dismantle it in sections from the top down. Sectioning requires rigging, which is the use of ropes, slings, pulleys, and other devices to control how fast and in which direction the limbs and wood will fall.
JAWS combines a knuckle boom crane with a grapple saw to hold, cut and lower tree sections. Remote operation can let the crew work from the ground on suitable jobs. Access, reach and site conditions determine the right removal method.
